SUMMARY:Fat Torah with Rabbi Minna Bromberg
DESCRIPTION:Weight stigma causes discrimination against the largest among us… in education\, healthcare\, employment\, and beyond. It is also damaging to the mental health of people of all sizes. Jewish tradition counters fatphobia with this simple truth: All human beings are created in the image of the Divine\, and each of us is unique and of infinite worth\, no matter our size. As Jews\, we are called upon to create a world that reflects this truth. In this session\, we’ll learn how weight stigma shows up in our Jewish communal lives and how we can deploy Jewish tradition for the liberation of all bodies. \nNo Fee \nRABBI MINNA BROMBERG\, Ph.D. is the founder and president of Fat Torah. She is passionate about bringing her three decades of experience in fat activism to writing\, teaching\, and change-making at the nexus of Judaism and body liberation. Her forthcoming book is Belonging for Every Body: a Fat Torah guide to building inclusive spiritual community. Minna received her doctorate in sociology from Northwestern University\, with a dissertation on identity formation in interfaith couples. She was ordained at Hebrew College in 2010. She lives in Jerusalem with her husband\, Rabbi Dr. Alan Abrams\, and their two children. \nZoom Link \nMembers Register Here \nNon Members Register Here \n

SUMMARY:D’tazch\, Adash\, B’Ahav: A Key to Understanding the Plagues with Sam Fleischacker
DESCRIPTION:Do the plagues in the exodus story have any structure\, or are they just ten different ways of trying to get the Egyptians to let the Israelites go?

We’ll explore this theory\, which was developed in an especially deep and meaningful way by Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. \nMember fee $15\, or included in Friday morning package; non-member fee $25 \nZoom Link \nPh: 312-626-6799 | Meeting ID: 865 1771 6805 | Passcode: 1224 \nMember Register Here \nNon Members Register Here \nSAMUEL FLEISCHACKER is LAS Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC).
